Sheffield United Vs Tottenham: Leg 2 Match Thread

[prawnsandwich]

Looks like it's due to start about six-ish from the Met office site - should make for an interesting playing surface!

On the match:

I am on tenter hooks and will achieve nothing all day.

Well done. In the transfer discussion they were talking about damp squids which always reminds me of the funniest "IT Crowd" episode.

The top ten misquotes by British people are as follows:
1) A damp squid (a damp squib)

2) On tender hooks (on tenter hooks)

3) Nip it in the butt (nip it in the bud)

4) Champing at the bit (chomping at the bit)

5) A mute point (a moot point)

6) One foul swoop (one fell swoop)

7) All that glitters is not gold (all that glisters is not gold)

8) Adverse to (averse to)

9) Batting down the hatches (batten down the hatches)

10) Find a penny pick it up (find a pin pick it up)

Out of interest, anyone know who Chelsea fans want to win?

I have a few Chelsea mates, and they all want us in the final to get revenge from NYD - although they all reckon we'll get knocked out tonight!

I'm really nervous for this one, haven't managed to do any work this morning and just about to leave to get ready before making the trip up north! I'm hoping for an early goal, but think it has all the making of a Spurs cock-up...One thing I do not want is extra time! With the weather predictions, I do not need the trip home to be any longer than necessary - especially if we lose!

Anyway can't wait to have a beer and a sing COYS!

Feel better brushing that off your chest?

I genuinely dreamt last night that we lost 4-2 on aggregate to two late extra time goals and it took a good couple of hours after waking to realise we hadnt played.

This may be a sign to play Hugo.

 

[Flashspur]

...tough game, the lads will have to be up for it. Whoever wants this badly enough is going to win it!

 

[prawnsandwich]

Feel better brushing that off your chest?

Yes, thanks for more than one reason.

Truly, I am a cunning linguist.

I just read Hazard wants us to win, so they can extract revenge for the spanking we dished out the other week!!

Thank-you ...

It's probably going to be a nervy night here on SC.

I suggest attending this thread only if 'armed' with an alcoholic beverage or two ...

 

[garryparkerschest]

I'm a bit nervous tonight, in my mind and some strange reason the more I think about it, Sheffield Utd are becoming the overwelming favourites.

By the time the game starts I'm going to be thinking we're playing Real Madrid at the Bernebau.

This is not healthy.

Why did you neg me for a joke?

 

[TwanYid]

I don't know why everyone's so worried. If we can't beat a League 1 side up a goal then we don't deserve it. It's kind of perfect in its finality

Tough crowd..

 

[garryparkerschest]

I would love to know the group of people that are nervous, I have a feeling they're all over 30 and know we're the sort of team that can snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

 

[riggi]

Oh please gwad, please..I'll be a good boy for the rest of the year and promise to do the washing up every day!!

Save that for the final!

I'm 25 and excitedly bricking it.

My childhood seemed to be blighted by failure in regards to football- and that pessimist, nervous feeling doesn't shift too easily...

 

[SteveH]

Its football and anything can happen.....but the most important thing is to support and COYS

4) Champing at the bit (chomping at the bit)

Love it. But you have this one backwards. 'Champing' is the correct original version of the saying.

 

[Yid-ol]

I don't know why everyone's so worried. If we can't beat a League 1 side up a goal then we don't deserve it. It's kind of perfect in its finality

Of course if we lose to them we don't deserve it......
